The Buffalo Bills offense has taken off since surrounding franchise quarterback Josh Allen with weapons and expanding his employment of Brian Daboll’s playbook. 

The young QB’s dedication to his offseason development and work with the teams’ coaching staff has led to a big forward progression in 2020 that has continued thus far in the Bills 2021 campaign.

Per ESPN Stats & Info, is Monday Night Football touchdown totals are now the most of any QB ever in their first two starts. Only Hall of Famers Dan Marino (10) and Joe Montana (9) have thrown more over their first three MNF appearances.

While that is some legendary company, the quarterback presently finds himself in a class on his own as well.

According to Pro Football Focus, Allen now sits atop the league in several categories:

Next Gen Stats projected Allen favorably during the offseason as one of the NFL’s best deep-ball throwers while ranking him the eighth-best quarterback in the league while under pressure.

This was a big leap forward considering PFF had him ranked as one of the worse deep-ball passers in the league as recently as May of 2020. Later that year and once the season started, Allen got to work proving that wasn’t the case.

As the Bills QB has continued his development this season he’s shot up to the top of that pressure category while also putting up career deep ball numbers. 

The Bills offense’s overall performance now has PFF ranking them among the best in the league.

Though the season is still young and there is still room for improvement, if he keeps this pace Allen might once more find himself in MVP consideration by season’s end.

If his past remarks and press conferences offer any indication, however, he’ll be happier if by that time he finds the Bills in a position to compete for a championship in the Super Bowl.
